Falcon Ridge water advisory removed

After consulting with Interior Health, the Regional District of Central Okanagan has rescinded a Water Quality Advisory for residents served by the Falcon Ridge water system.

The advisory was issued June 3 affecting approximately 60 properties connected to the Falcon Ridge system off Highway 33 as a result of freshet-related turbidity in the Mission Creek water source. 

Water sample tests confirm that turbidity is once again within the acceptable and safe Canadian guidelines for drinking water quality.  As a result, the precautionary Water Quality Advisory has been removed.

The Falcon Ridge water system is one of six maintained and operated by the RDCO servicing more than 1,100 connections in the Central Okanagan East and Central Okanagan West electoral areas.
